i like domestics, such as the vette, to me interior really doesnt mean anything, if it has seats, shifter, steering wheel, and a radio i could care less. My interior on my z28 is horrible, but do you think the interior is the reason i bought it? different people have different taste. To me there really isnt nice interiors on anything but high end cars

When I bought my S2k I was shopping around for 08 C6’s with 3LT and Z51 package and found a dealer willing to go $8k under MSRP, which I believe is well under invoice(though I didn’t verify that) I liked the car, but the steering and interior killed it for me.

I don’t think I need to start anything regarding an import vs domestic dispute on this forum. :tong

I am glad you like domestics though but are the minority given FORD is losing million **s**

I have to agree. Although I have to admit the new Chevy trucks/suvs are much better than they have been in the past. The new front end and the interior’s are gorgeous. My father just bought a new Chevy truck and I love the looks inside and out.

When I was at the NYC auto show I skipped the Ford section… anyway, I like the look of some the new Buicks… yeah Buick used to be more for like grandparents, but I think the Lucerne with the V8 is pretty nice overall.

I think you’d be surprised how many people are dedicated to domestic cars and will not even consider a import. My dad used to be the same way until he drove an audi and now he is on his third one 🙂

I guess this guy is one of them…

So you’re saying you would take a dodge neon over a ferrarri if those were your only choices?

They are forced to upgrade because of obvious reasons but there’s still a difference when you compare similiar companies.

I understand loyalty but you need to be committed if you take any domestic with that Dodge 2.5L that blew HG every 3 days over a Yugo.

When I was looking for a DD I drove mustangs/F-bods/vettes and couldn’t stand the interiors. :headbang  
The newer mustangs have pretty nice interiors but they’re too slow.  
I ended up with the GTO for several reasons but the interior was a big one. The GTO is technically an import though :ninja
